Written-Off Car Buyers in Durban - Sell Your Accident or Non-Running Vehicle Fast

Durban's Specialist Written-Off Car Buyers

Facing a written-off, accident-damaged or non-running car in Durban can be stressful. Whether the vehicle has been declared uneconomical to repair by your insurer, damaged beyond practical repair, or is simply not worth fixing, finding a reliable buyer - and a straightforward sale - is often challenging. That's where a specialist service like Sell Your Damaged Car comes in. We buy written-off, salvage, and broken vehicles for cash, no matter their condition, handling every step from valuation to collection in the eThekwini area and beyond.

Why Sell to a Written-Off Car Buyer in Durban?

• No need to pay for repairs, towing, or storage
• Free, fast collection anywhere in Durban, Umlazi, Pinetown, or the surrounds
• Paperwork, including deregistration, handled for you
• Get a competitive, transparent cash offer based on real market values

Typical Damage and Offer Impact

Offers are based on Durban salvage markets, parts demand, age, model, and extent of damage. Complete transparency and no obligations before you accept.

How the Process Works

1. Upload your written-off car details and photos for a free valuation.
2. Receive a market-based cash offer, no obligations.
3. Accept the offer and schedule a collection time that suits you - home, work, or at a storage site.
4. We handle all paperwork, including deregistration and settlement with insurers if applicable.
5. Free towing anywhere in Durban, Amanzimtoti, Hillcrest, or inland.
6. Fast, secure payment on completion of collection and paperwork.

Our team is based in South Africa and understands Durban's local requirements, including eNatis deregistration and specific insurance payout scenarios. There's no need to deal with multiple dealers, scrap yards, or uncertain buyers.

Legal and Paperwork - Durban & KZN Requirements

Written-off vehicles in South Africa are assigned a Code 3 (rebuilt) or Code 4 (permanently demolished/not for use) on eNatis. It's essential to properly deregister and ensure the sale is legally transferred. We handle:

• eNatis paperwork and deregistration for eThekwini metro and greater KZN
• Settlement of outstanding finance (where permitted by bank/finance house)
• Official proof of sale and deregistration receipt for your records

For vehicles under finance, we coordinate with your finance provider to ensure seamless settlement, so you don't get stuck with liability.

Tips to Maximise Your Written-Off Car Offer

• Provide accurate, clear images showing damage and key parts
• Include the police report (if applicable) and insurer write-off letter
• List major salvageable parts (e.g. engine, gearbox) if known
• Disclose any mechanical issues and all recent history
• Organise your paperwork and spare keys

After Collection - What Happens Next?

• Your car is removed from the road and processed according to local legal and environmental standards
• You receive all necessary eNatis and sale documents for your records
• If sold as salvage, road use is not permitted until officially rebuilt/legalised per SA law

Our process protects your legal interests, avoids post-sale liability, and ensures complete transparency from offer to payment. Whether you're a private vehicle owner or a business with fleet write-offs, you get a professional, honest transaction.
